Vancouver Area Restaurant Shooting Linked to Low-Level Drug War

Police are investigating after multiple shots were fired near an Earls restaurant in Surrey, B.C. on Monday evening, with bullets striking the building but apparently not injuring anyone.

Patrons were still on the patio of the restaurant when the shooting happened at about 9 p.m. PT near the intersection of 72nd Ave. and 120th St.

Police say the intended targets appear to be two men who had been eating at the restaurant. They apparently fled in a blue vehicle before police arrived. The suspects, meanwhile, were said to have taken off in a silver SUV-type vehicle.
